Beautiful old pub with quality renovations. Fabulous dining room with lots of options and a great wine list. The bedrooms were on the small side but very comfortable and so nice to see a coffee machine. It was a very convenient stay on our trip to Melbourne. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
